I started my challenge by applying gesso to my page and collaged old love letters, envelopes and romantic music sheets on top. I applied a thin layer of light pink paint mixed with gesso over the top of the collaged papers. While this dried a sketched a daisy design onto some pelmet vilenne , which I stitched with black thread . I painted inside the design with acrylic paint and cut it out .Next I went back to my journal and went around the border with a magenta paint, to darken the edges slightly .I collaged groups of old stamps that I have been collecting over the years . I applied pink sheer ribbon and cream lace along the bottom edge and left hand side.Searching through all my old photos,I found just the picture that I wanted of a pretty lady with daisy's in her hair , and glued her on with strong matte medium. Using the same matte medium, applied my machine stitcheddaisy and falling petals!!I added my lettering and finish off with some pearlescent inked hearts.Have a wonderful Valentine's Day 😃❤️!!!
